Presbyterian Hospital East Expansion

Baptist St. Anthony's Hospital | Ernest Healthcare | Kayenta Health Center| PHS East Expansion | PHS Main Emergency Dept. | PHS Rio Rancho Medical Center

This project personalized Presbyterian’s approach to healthcare delivery by bringing them closer to the goal of being an all-private bed hospital, while unifying a collection of buildings built over the last 40 to 50 years into a single campus. The East Expansion added three new floors over the existing East Tower of the hospital to house Labor and Delivery, Neonatal Intensive Care, Extended Care Nursery, Postpartum Recovery, Pediatric Intensive Care, Cardiac Care, Cardiovascular Intensive Care, and General Medical and Surgical Units.  

The addition and renovation was executed in three phases. Phase I involved infrastructure upgrades to the Central Plant and underground utilities to support the addition. Phase II involved a seismic upgrade of the existing East Tower lateral support system to meet current building codes and prepare for the lateral load imposed by the additional three stories. Lastly, Phase III was the addition itself and exterior modifications to the existing building skin.
